'o O /l/om 'it 21mg/ #oJ/fern;

lie it knoivn that l. @naam-is M. VAY, citizen ft the United States`r resident of lllinntaipolis` county of Hennepin, State of llinnesota. hav(l invented certain new and nse't'nl improvements in Borders for Bed- Springrs. ot which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a borderv for the wire 'fabric of a spring bed which will t'orm a substantially lateral snp port for the strands or cables of the bed and present a neat. linished appearance Yt'or each longitudinal edge ot' the lied.

(lther obieetsiot the invention will appear from the tollowingr detailed description.

'l`he invention consists `cnerallyin various tamstrnctions and combinations` all as hercinatter described and particularly pointed ont in the claims.

ln the accompanyinfar drawings tornlinbfT part otthis specification. Fig-tirol is a` plan view ot' a spring bed embo l \injy my invention, lfig. 2 is a detail view. showing the border and the, manner of attaching it to the bed rail, ltiggj. 23 is a transverse sectional view of the border.

l'n the dra\\'in 2 and l represent the end railsA ot the bed and 4 is a cable. composed ot closely coiled wires carried back and forth trom onecnd ot the bed to the other, having its loops 5 at the ends connected by a spring' (l with the rails 2 and 3. A tthe ends olI the rails l prcter to provide a border consisting of a series ot closely coiled wires forming strands 7 placed in parallel relation with one another and close together. rihe end portions ot these strands are clamped by suitable clips or clamping devies S, and the outer cables of each border are prelrably provided .with extensions 9 having their ends twisted together and con` nected to springs (3, corresponding to those described with reference to the cables 4. Links l0 have hooked ends which engage the adjacent strand of the cable 4 at. one end, While the opposite end ot the link is hooked into the border, preferably between the strands thereof. Similar links connect the parallel stretches of the cable 4l across the bedand hold them' in parallel relation with one another.

The strands forming each border are held snugly together by means of the clips 8 and cannot rnb upon one another or rattle when a person 1s lymg on the bed.. The clips 8 are also preferably provided upon opposite sides ot' the links l0, thereby holding the strands of the border rigidly together from end to end thereof.

The number ot' strands in the bordel' can be variedand in various Ways the details of construction may be modified and still be within the scope of mv invention.

l claim as my invention:

l. A bed springr comprising cables arranged in parallel relation. end rails,` and springs connecting said rails with said cables` a border also having sprino' connections with said rails and composed of a series of strands placed side by side and clips for clamping said strands together at intervals and links having one end connected to the adjacent cable and the other end hooked into said border. v

2. A bed fabric having a border extend.- in;Y from end to end thereot` on each side of the bed. said border being composed of a series of wire strands arranged side by side and clam ed together, and means connecting said border at intervals with the bed fabric.

3. bed fabric having a borderyon each side of the bed composed of metallic strands arranged in parallel relation and clamped together, and tension members engaging the bed fabric and said border and resisting lateral pull on the fabric.

l. A bed fabric having a border composed ot' a series of strands placed side by side and clips for clamping said strands together at intervals, and links having one end connected to the adjacent bed fabric and the other end hooked into said border.

In witness whereof, I havehereunto set my hand this 13th day of March. 1914.
